Becoming a Master Franchise Partner

ERA Real Estate enters new markets by establishing master franchise operations. Rights to develop the ERA brand in a particular market are acquired by the master franchisor. The master franchise candidate may be an individual or company with experience in the real estate industry or a related field such as banking, insurance, or an entrepreneur with a background in successful network development. The candidate(s) will have sufficient capital to successfully implement the ERA System. Essential qualities in the master franchise profile are individuals with ethical character and integrity. ERA Europe seeks partners who share the same principles of a win/win approach to business, those who can lead, work well on a team and who wish to develop long term, mutually beneficial relationships.

A Proven System

Master Franchise owners benefit from entering a market with a proven system; acquiring a brand that has been successfully implemented in diverse European markets; support and guidance by an expert and dynamic management team; a history of results and consistent growth during 17 years of development throughout Europe. It is the goal of ERA Europe to create the leading national residential real estate network in each market that will provide the best products and services to buyers and sellers of real estate. Unique synergies will be achieved via neighboring European countries where ERA is established, and internationally.
